Seekins Precision Scope Ring Calculator

This is a very helpful tool.

Ring Height Formula

This is the mathematical way to do it if you don't trust the computer.

I'm using Leupold Highs (1.06) with a AICS, Those rings you got are really tall.

That Ring Height Formula thread is great. Don't forget to read the post by Glen Seekins in the thread talking about the barrel. Check the contour of the barrel and take into account scope caps etc. I agree with NisilS14. The rings you have in the pic seem tall to me. You want just the slightest amount of space between the barrel and the scope. Hope this helps.

Since you have an adjustable cheek rest, you can start with those rings.

I like Seekins. Try medium 30. Normally you would want the scope set as low as possible, but not on what you have. If you shoot prone or bench your cheek weld will change and you will want some wiggle room. Adjust according to contour of your head.
